The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 113

Chapter 114

Maeve was stunned for a moment. She vaguely heard Karen crying.

Just as she looked at Byron, she saw him get up from the bed and comfort Karen gently, saying, "Tll go over now. Don't be antsy"

After he hung up and changed his clothes, Maeve asked softly. "Are you going out now? What happened?"

Byron hesitated for a moment. Recalling that Maeve had been jealous of Karen and had been at odds with him for a long while, he said, "Something urgent came up. I have to deal with it Go to sleep first. Don't wait for me." "I see." Ma e." Maeve lowered her gaze. "It's already so late. Can't you go tomorrow?" She thought, 'Can you not go to meet Karen?'

Byron thought she did not want to sleep alone, so his thin lips curled up slightly. He then leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Why? You've turned into a kid who needs me to accompany you even when you want to sleep, huh? I'll try to come back as soon as I can, okay?"

With that stid, he picked up his coat and hurriedly left the room.

Maeve sat on the bed and watched him leave without stopping. She looked as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head, and she felt cold all over.

The infatuation and hesitation that had built up earlier suddenly collapsed.

She had never known before that childhood friends could be so frightening in the sense of posing a threat to one's romantic relationship.

Even though they had just embraced and exchanged body warmth moments ago, and could even take things further, a single phone call could make him leave her without hesitation to be with Karen.

She initially thought she did not pale in comparison to Karen, but only now did she realize how much she fell short compared to Karen. This was because the person

"No wonder people say the biggest illusion in life is thinking that the person you like also likes you.
